I need a new PSU for my gaming rig which can be seen in my sig. It was running strong for about a year and a half when my Antec PSU died. It always ran hot and I dont think it had what it takes to handle my 6800GT, overclocking, and my watercooling setup. Ive been shopping for a new power supply for a couple weeks now and I was almost decided on this:

OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W

I have one concern, however. When I read how the power was divided between the 4 12V rails it was pretty clear that this PSU is geared for a PCI express SLI system. I'm not sure if it would be able to divide the power up correctly for my agp system. If anyone has any suggestions for a PSU more suited for my system, or knows if the Epsilon I linked above would be practical, it would be much appreciated.

Way over-kill on the PSU. Start thinking no more than 500W. I'll sound like a broken record but here's the pitch. Enhance ENP-5150GH at http://www.ewiz.com/ for 69$.

EDIT: This PSU will address most any future needs ;)

Contact via PM, AntecCSR or AntecTechLevel4 about an RMA on the KAPOOT unit. I've been telling them the real truth about Antec PSUs over in our Cases & Coolig Forum. It's near the top, should be a fun read :D I won't link it.

Wow thats a good find. I was worried that some of the rails on the one I linked previously would go to waste, so this seems ideal. I had never heard of this manufacturer before, probably because i tend to live and die by newegg.com. The problems people have been having with Antec came as a surprise to me as when i bought it I couldn't find anything but good news about them. Thanks for the info.
